Hearing her bib number meant the Vero Beach High School graduate and rising University of Virginia senior attacker had made the team, which is the first step to playing in the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse World Cup in England.

A total of 38 players were selected from an invite-only pool of 81 on Sunday at Georgetown University, after being evaluated by the Team USA coaching staff.

"I didn't think I did as well the second day," Swan said. "Plus, the competition is so high, I was completely surprised. I had to ask my friend next to me if they had called my number.

"It was crazy. I'm still kind of in shock, but I couldn't stop smiling afterward. It's a great feeling. The hard work the past three days and past couple years all culminated when I made the team."

The team will train and compete in several exhibition events in the lead-up to the 2017 World Cup, when the squad will be cut down to 18 players. Team USA won gold in 2013.

"I'm just really excited to be a part of the program and get into the system," Swan said. "Hopefully, it will also help going into my last season at Virginia, so I'm excited."

Helping Virginia to its first Final Four since 2007, Swan finished with 53 goals and 27 assists for a team-high 80 points and also led in draw controls with 96.

Among a number of college awards she has received, Swan was nominated for the 2014 Tewaaraton Award, which is given to the nation's top college player each year. She also earned the Elite 89 award from the NCAA in May, which is awarded to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.

"Courtney Swan is a very special player," Vero Beach coach Shannon Dean said. "She is a competitor and once she puts her sights on something she goes after it. Team USA just got stronger with the addition of Courtney Swan. I can see a world championship for that young lady down the line."

The announcement comes on the heels of Swan being named the 2014 All-State University Division Women's Lacrosse Player of the Year, as voted on by the Virginia Sports Information Directors. She also ranked 16th in the nation with 80 points this season (53 goals, 27 assists), according to the University of Virginia.
